About Ronika
Ronika Martin works with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She helps clients who are dealing with addiction, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. Ronika aims to make first contacts straightforward and respectful for anyone feeling nervous about starting therapy.
She has seven years of experience in a range of settings across Australia. Her background includes work in schools, community organisations, prisons including drug treatment units, NGOs, and private practice. She has run group therapy, supported people experiencing homelessness, and delivered one-to-one support for people facing addiction and emotional distress.
Ronika believes many difficult behaviours began as coping tools. In sessions she helps people gently identify those patterns. The goal is to develop new ways of responding that feel more helpful in daily life.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Attachment-based ideas and Person-centred practice. She also uses trauma-informed principles and brings her own lived experience into her work where appropriate. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and pace.
Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental space where listening comes first. Ronika encourages realistic steps, practical strategies and reflection on values and goals. If someone is ready to explore change, she offers steady support through that process.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps towards those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It suits people struggling with anxiety, low motivation, or major life changes. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-based ideas pay attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, and this can help with intimacy issues, abandonment wounds and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ronika will discuss different methods and adapt sessions to the person’s goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative, with the therapist and client deciding which tools to try and when to change direction.
The practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions into a busy week and the chance to continue work from different locations. Because formats and session options were not specified in the profile, confirm the exact online or in-person session choices before booking. Many clients find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, easier scheduling, or when they prefer not to travel, and Ronika will help match format and approach to everyday life.
